In the next few days, no matter how busy Yu Youtai was, he would spare a quarter of an hour to give Qu Qingyan a question.

The topics he came up with were a little obscure, which made Qu Qingyan have to think and meditate for a long time to find his idea.

She looked at the articles that were sent back by Yu Youtai after being approved by Yu Youtai in the past few days, and always felt that this champion master's intentions were extremely sinister.

Sometimes the topic is already dark, and she has to rush to send the article before he goes on a business trip the next morning, which shows that the quality of the time is so limited.

So there are very few places on the volume of the circle, that is, the sharp points are not common, is it difficult for this champion to do this to hit her self-confidence?

But what good is it for him?

Qu Qingyan couldn't figure it out, so he didn't think about it anymore, found the articles that he was not satisfied with in the past few days, and re-polished them when he had time during the day.

was abused by Yu Youtai like this, and when she was about to end, her heart, which was still a little excited, slowly calmed down, and she had to face not only the exam questions of the location, but also the search when she entered.

The search for Qiu Yu's fate has always been strict, although she is sure that she will not have entrainment, but she always has military service.

On the fifth day of the first month of August, it is getting closer and closer to the end of the game, Qu Qingyan has been no longer reading books since he entered August, and Yu Youtai is also too busy to give her questions.

In August, the autumn wind begins to blow in the morning and evening, and it is a little cool.

She was sitting under the locust tree shaking her body with a pu fan, and suddenly saw Yu Youtai striding in an official uniform from outside the courtyard.

"Lord Yu."

Since entering the August Yu Youtai, she has been busy and has not seen anyone again, Qu Qingyan has always thought that she will not see this Qu Master until she returns to Kyoto.

"Sit, I have a few words to tell you."

He sat directly on the stone bench next to Qu Qingyan, and when he swept it, he found that there was actually a cushion under her.

Qu Qingyan followed his gaze and looked under him, suddenly a little ashamed.

"It's a little cold on the stone bench."

After she said this, she hated to slap herself, this is simply three hundred taels of silver here, and people didn't ask her why she had to explain!

In particular, there are a few men who are afraid of the cold on the stone bench.

Yu Youtai seemed to see Qu Qingyan's discomfort, he retracted his gaze and only said: "The chief examiner Zou has arrived in Jinan at the beginning of the month, and I will hold a 'curtain' ceremony with him on the sixth day of tomorrow, and then I will not come out until the list is released, so I will not be there for you to appear, I will personally explain it, and order the steward of the palace to pick you up outside the Gongyuan on the 10th, 13th, and 16th of the first month, and you can rest assured in terms of safety."

"I've seen all the articles you've done during this time, and as long as you can think of the source of the topic after the game, the first two games are not a big problem for you. What you should pay attention to is the history and current affairs of the third scene, remember to be safe, do not be unconventional, do not make empty words, and have something to say. Do you know that? ”

Qu Qingyan's heart overflowed with warmth, and he got up and bowed to Yu Youtai and thanked him: "Students must remember the adult's entrustment." ”

"Well, although you kid is a little stubborn, you're not willful. I have asked the housekeeper to prepare the things you will need in the end, and someone will help you carry them to the tribute courtyard on the eighth day of the first month. ”

Yu Youtai had already stood up after explaining these few words, he took a few steps and turned around, and his clear and serious face showed a smile for the first time, "This subject is good, I hope that your name will be on the roster of next year's spring festival." ”

Qu Qingyan was almost blinded by Nan Wuxiao, she got up in a daze and subconsciously bowed again: "The student will definitely let the name of the student be written on the roster of the next year's spring festival, and the grace of the adult and the student will be inscribed." ”

It was the first time she had encountered someone in this plane who didn't remember the good and was kind to her just because she was pitiful.

This kindness is enough for her to remember for a lifetime.

The corners of his soothing lips tensed again, Yu Youtai only hummed, turned around and completely disappeared into the courtyard with great strides.

Qu Qingyan's heart stirred slightly, thinking about the arrangement before he entered the curtain, and he could only sigh how he could do it.

The chief examiner of this autumn ceremony was Zou Jincai, Yu Youtai's colleague in the Hanlin Academy, and he served as Zou Jincai's deputy examiner. In addition to the two examiners, there are also the same examiners who cooperate with the examiner to mark the papers, and these examiners are all selected by the political envoy to serve as the governor and county of Jinshi and the county of Juren.

On the sixth day of the eighth month, all the examiners will go to the governor's yamen under the leadership of the chief examiner to participate in the 'curtain banquet', and the chief examiner will ride alone in a bright sedan chair, and there are sedan chair drivers carrying it for everyone to see.

After leaving the yamen, the group went to the tribute courtyard in the drum music honor guard, and if they entered like this, they would stay in the tribute courtyard until the list was released.

The day of entering the curtain has always been extremely lively, and Qu Qingyan originally wanted to take a look and get a look. Just thinking of the young master of the sect, she didn't even want to go out of the door.

On the eighth day of August, Yin Zheng was named.

Before dawn, Qu Qingyan had already gotten up to sort out the luggage to be brought into the Tribute Courtyard, and it would take two or three days to get in, and all kinds of matters had to be solved inside, and it would be extra troublesome when the things were not brought in.

Fortunately for her, her little day had managed to avoid these days, otherwise she really couldn't explain to the military why she had to bring the menstrual affair into the Tribute Courtyard......

The items prepared for her by the housekeeper were exceptionally complete, and she was probably prepared for Yu Youtai back then, so the bedding for sleeping, the change of clothes, the boiler for cooking rice, pen and ink, food, oil lamps, tea, charcoal, etc., etc., Qu Qingyan only felt that he could open a grocery store while checking it.

The east of the city of Jinan Mansion of the Tribute Courtyard takes the meaning of oriental civilization. The whole tribute courtyard is also sitting in the north and facing south, which is the largest building complex in Jinan Prefecture.

The housekeeper found the guy he had met to carry the things and personally accompanied Qu Qingyan to finish the tribute courtyard.

There were so many people in the end that by the time they arrived, the team was already very far away, and before it was dark, she could only vaguely distinguish the huge dark shadow in the distance.

In order to end up this day, she asked Mama Rong to make a few small clothes that could hide the curves early in the morning, but these small clothes were extremely cumbersome because of the extra cumbersome sewing, and at first glance they looked like very special underwear for entrainment.

She was in the middle of the line, and she was extremely nervous when she saw from a distance that the group of people who were undergoing the entrance inspection had only taken off their obscene pants to let the military service confirm whether there was any entrainment.

Originally, she also hoped that if there was more than one stage at the entrance, she might be able to raise her hand and let her go, but she didn't expect that he would not be able to come out until he entered the Tribute Academy in the sixth year of junior high school.

If she can't take the road of Yu Youtai, what else can she do?

The palms of her hands were sweating, it was almost noon, and the line was a long time shorter, and it was her turn to enter.

"Qu Gongzi, before the adult enters the curtain, he specially explained that he wants to send you to the middle gate, so you can rest assured that after you have passed the search, you can spend a few dollars of silver to find a military service to help you carry the burden to the number room."

Steward Yu didn't know why Qu Qingyan was nervous, but she was worried because she was too weak to carry her luggage.

Qu Qingyan's smile stiffened slightly, and she moved forward little by little with the crowd, no matter how much she prayed, it was still time for her to search.

"Take out the ticket, untie your clothes and take them off." The military service has a black face and a face full of impatience.

The man put her salute aside and was checked by another person, and the housekeeper Yu stood aside and saw that Qu Qingyan's movements were stiff, and when he was used to being served at home, he took the initiative to come forward and wait.

"Master Qu, before Lord Yu entered the curtain, he specially explained that when these three exams are over, he will bring someone to pick you up outside the middle gate, and you can rest assured in the next two days."

Steward Yu's words originally wanted Qu Qingyan to relax, but he didn't want to be listened to by the military service in front of her.

"Lord Yu? Which Lord Yu? ”

Steward Yu hurriedly replied with a smile: "It's Master Yu, the school official." ”

It turned out to be the deputy examiner at this time, and the other person next to him quickly made a look, which made Lord Yu's housekeeper whisper so lowly, and the identity of this person in front of him was probably extraordinary.

had a plan in her heart, and when Qu Qingyan stiffly untied her robe and raised her hand to pull the strap of her middle coat, the military service directly made her turn around on the spot, and patted her with both hands as if she was checking the entrainment, and after a few laps, she directly handed over the exam paper and released it.

Qu Qingyan's heart almost flew out of her chest, she never thought that Yu Youtai was not there, and she could also use his name not to be asked to strip off all her clothes.

On the side, a military officer stepped forward to help her carry the burden, she was busy responding, and the name of the number room was distributed along with the test paper, and she took out the number room card to see a regular 'phoenix' on it, and a word was printed on the reverse side.

It's actually the No. 1 room of Fengzi!

Her mind crossed a touch of complexity in an instant, and she followed the military service behind her and walked towards the number room.

When you enter the Tribute Temple, you will pass through the triple gate, and the last one is named the Dragon Gate, which means that it is self-evident.

After entering the dragon gate, there is a wide corridor, and the center of the corridor is the Mingyuan Building, which is used to monitor students.

The military service was very familiar with the number room, and he walked quickly, and Qu Qingyan followed behind him, almost trotting to keep up with the other party's speed.

"I'll tell you, master, I'm in room No. 1 of the Son of Heaven, how about envy and jealousy, I also told you, I should be the solution to the township test this time."

This voice was a little familiar, and before Qu Qingyan turned the corner, she saw a slightly chubby figure appear not far behind her, and she hurriedly sped up a few steps and dodged.

How dare this guy meet that guy here?

Is it outstanding knowledge or grandstanding, or is it ......

The Fengzi room had arrived, and the military officer put the burden in the room and turned to look at her, she hurriedly took out a piece of broken silver from her purse and handed it over.

"It's hard work, dare to ask how to get hot water in this tribute courtyard?"

Most of the dry food and dried vegetables and dried meat prepared for her by Steward Yu were hard to brew, and if there was no hot water for two or three days, she was afraid that she would be extremely sad.

The soldier weighed the weight of the broken silver, and saw that there was at least two or three taels, so he put it away with satisfaction: "From the afternoon onwards, someone will push the waterwheel to pass in front of the house, and you can buy it for a few big bucks." ”

A few big bucks...... Qu Qingyan secretly smacked his tongue in his heart, but he didn't dare to show it in the slightest.

After the military service left, she was not busy packing her luggage, but first took out the rag and began to clean.

The provincial tribute institute is not opened once every three years, the end of the autumn is locked, there are many snakes, insects, rats and ants all year round, and there will be people to catch snakes and rats two months before the opening of the hospital, but the health in this room requires the candidates to clean themselves.

There are cobwebs hanging on one foot in the number room, Qu Qingyan is actually very afraid of this kind of furry thing, but the number room is so the size of a palm, no matter how scared she is, she has to find a way to solve it.

After struggling to tidy up the room, she began to sort out the luggage she brought, there was a hole in the back of the room, and it was just right to put the burden there.

When she got in, she only got the test papers, and the question papers would be distributed when they were over, and she had to spend the whole afternoon and evening in the number room with nothing to do, so it was better to put down the board first and make up for it.

She hung an oilcloth curtain on the opening in the room that was open to the south, took out the futon, and lay down to make up for sleep.

At night, there was a lot of noise all day, and almost every room in the Gongyuan was occupied by people, Qu Qingyan woke up, opened his luggage, and saw that no one had touched it, so he was relieved.

The sky gradually darkened, and there was a faint smell of burning candles in the air, and Steward Yu prepared a huge package for her with only candles, and she was not afraid of not enough, so she lit one and put it on the wooden board, the dim light swayed with the night wind, and her heart that had been flustered all day finally calmed down.

The night breeze brought the fragrance of the food, I don't know which room the scholar would cook it by himself, Qu Qingyan was hungry and rushed to push hot water when someone pushed it, and he spent 20 yuan to play with hot water and soak the dry food.

Thinking that she still had to worry about the entangled in the annual examination a year ago, she suddenly felt a touch of gratitude to Qu Wenhai at this time, although the suffering was several times more, but at least she didn't have to live a life of poverty, and she didn't have to live a life of stumbling heroes with a penny.

As soon as the time passed, someone went to the inner curtain to take the question paper, and the question paper was printed according to the number of candidates, and there would be no more one.

Qu Qingyan slept enough during the day, and waited for the question paper to be answered, and the first trial was three texts in the "Four Books", one poem with five words and eight rhymes, and four poems of scriptures.

The inscription paper was sent to the Fengzi room, and she carefully moved the candle, and then the question was unfolded.

Unbiased, unruly, decent.

This was the first impression the exam question gave her.

Thinking that Yu Youtai picked up the strange questions for her before the end, she couldn't help but sigh, she always thought that those questions might be the topics of this autumn season.

But I forgot that Yu Youtai had the qualifications to ask questions as a deputy examiner.

He just wanted to help her practice in many ways, and he was a little stunned when he thought of this.

With the exam questions, she was not busy with her pen, she thought about how to deal with each question, copied the idea on the white paper she brought, blew out the candle, tilted her head on the wall on one side, and fell asleep again in a daze.

When the morning sun shone into the room, Qu Qingyan was directly dragged out of his sleep by a foul smell.

She actually forgot that in the tribute courtyard, eating, drinking, and Lazar had to be solved here!
